Bryn says: Hah. This is awesome. I love how Valve continues to joke around with its products, while remaining committed to keeping the hardcore on their toes. Don't get me wrong, if there was the slightest hint of a TF2 MMORPG, I'd be the first in line with my smoking minigun to slaugher rats by the hundreds just to hear myself ding.

Guess I'll just have to make do with aiding those Heavies with my mad Medic skillz.
